A meal replacement beverage.
The cocoa version is like drinking chocolate ice cream, including the gummy mouth feel afterwards. It's definitely only a "treat" and not a meal replacement.
The vanilla has a definite flavor but is definitely tame. It also suffers from the mouth feel problem, which I think would be a problem for narration and singing.
See Soylent for a lot of notes which also apply to this product.
I'm specifically interested in the bridge to gambling encouraged by microtransactions in video games.
This is basically a stillborn project from when I looked things up.

OBS has a terrible interface and fundamental limitations for making multiple scenes. I had to take quite a lot of time to go through the process, with nobody giving clear instructions. So I'm making them.
I want to use a USB keypad to control elements of Open Broadcaster Software.
This guide is good, but my script is very thorough. See key remapping.lua

How to create a bottom bar for both monitors.
I'm certain these instructions work with three displays, but any more than three would get weird.
Note that it isn't possible to have two trays (for things like a status icon). I don't know why.
These instructions were tested, and re-tested multiple times on devuan_ascii_2.0.0-rc_i386_dvd-1 on bare metal. They worked fine, but they magically stopped working, and so I'm giving up on this technology; it's too fucking hard to use.
Computer security: Devuan + dm-crypt >
Devuan's installer has an encryption feature, but it formats your whole hard drive and uses LVM, neither of which I want.
Where a / (root) partition is encrypted (dm-crypt) and in use.
Install Devuan, re-using the encrypted partition without re-encrypting/formatting from scratch.
Note - I will be writing separate instructions on how to manually make and manage encrypted partitions.
For more information on encryption, see dm-crypt.

Problem: Given an item in the Internet Archive, e.g. The works of Ralph Waldo Emerson, you may be tempted to download the PDF for its exactness. Admirable! However, my e-reader is horribly slow for opening it and turning pages. I find slow page turning aggravating; it makes me lose my train of thought and strains my reading comprehension.
This extra work is well worth it for me.
See also PDF? I haven't tested it, but I wonder if "repairing" a PDF would also help with e-reader speed.
